Emmanuel College offers a first-rate education with qualities and opportunities rarely seen at an institution this size. For example, our math majors are taught by a Ph.D. from Cal Tech and a Ph.D. from Purdue with over 30 years of industry experience. Our science majors are accepted at renowned graduate and medical schools, our communication majors learn using the industry’s latest digital equipment, and many of our psychology graduates are practicing or teaching with doctorates in psychology.

Our small class sizes keep learning highly interactive, and a very low student-to-teacher ratio (15:1) ensures you will receive personalized attention when you need it. Emmanuel professors are invested in their students’ success, and they will do whatever it takes to help you reach your full potential.
